Guillaume Canet was inspired by Jean-Paul Belmondo for his new film To Life
More than three years after his death, Jean-Paul Belmondo continues to influence French actors. In To LifeGuillaume Canet performs most of his stunts, as Bébel did. For example, he rappels down the Sacré-Cœur. A sacred stunt which can recall those carried out by the monument of French cinema, like its journey on the roofs of the Galeries Lafayette in Fear in the city (Henri Verneuil, 1975). Concerning this physical commitment to his profession, Guillaume Canet confirms on RTL that Jean-Paul Belmondo has nothing to do with it: “He encouraged me a lot. I remember crying when I was a kid when he got hurt on film Hold-Up [réalisé par Alexandre Arcady en 1985, ndlr]. He had cut his head open and I was afraid for him. I had talked about all that with him, because he knew all the sports that I did were a little dangerous, a little extreme”. Victor Belmondo's grandfather then asked him why he didn't reproduce this in his films. “Write it and do it. It’s that simple”Belmondo urged him. “He was right”concludes Guillaume Canet who took the plunge to To Life.

On the other hand, he has very good memories of working with his son, in this film that he directed. “It was great, extremely stressful, but he wanted it”he declared with pride.
